1937 - 2019

Sister Camille, as we knew her at St. Raymond's, was the perfect teacher at the perfect time for so many of us in 4th Grade. At that time we had about 50 - 60 kids in a classroom! (She - and other teachers of the era should be canonized on that alone! Are you listening Pope Francis?) Students loved her. Parents loved her. She was joyful and enthusiastic. And when needed, she also could let the hammer down gently without embarrassing you. She encouraged us to read. On occasion I and other students would stay after school to help arrange the bookshelves. If I found something interesting, she would encourage me to take it home. "But remember to bring it back!" What a gift she gave us all.
